If you actually cared about what the TSA was doing you would be an adult and lobby your local representative.
But these days it seems like we're in "offense wars" where we must protect everyone's delicate sensibilities because offending or scaring a stupid person is almost a crime in its own right (see parents who run around attacking photographers who steal their kid's souls with cameras).
When has someone overhearing a joke at the airport ever prevented a terrorist attack? Never is the answer. Just stupid people complaining and stupid people "following orders" and conducting a completely disproportionate investigation into something everyone knows for a fact won't lead anywhere. "See something report something" is just a moronic as "stranger danger" and all of those sayings. Use common sense. Think about things. Stop being sheep.
So the TSA are nothing but selfish assholes? I can agree with that.

Chances are pretty high that your local representatives are the ones who were in favour of all of this. Replace one with another, and you're likely to get the same result. Call me cynical if you'd like, but I think there is good reason to be.
Do you really need someone special to say what you think, or you can express your thoughts by yourself wherever and whomever you want to?
